Osprey 240e
The Osprey 240e is a single channel card. It has multiple video inputs, but you can select only one of
them at a time. The inputs that are selectable depend on the type of dongle used. Two types of dongles
are available for this board Composite/SVideo, and YPrPb.
The connections for the Composite/SVideo dongle are shown in Figure 14.

The YPrPB dongle is primarily for YPrPb (Component) inputs, as shown in
Figure 15. YPrPb dongle connections
The blue Pb input can also be used as a Composite input. The driver should be set to Composite when thePb input
is used this way.
Osprey 450e
The Osprey 450e has four separate independent video channels that can run simultaneously. You can
use the board with or without an optional auxiliary expansion connector.
When the expansion connector is not installed, the only video inputs available are the Composite BNC
inputs on the board’s mounting bracket. The four connectors correspond from top to bottom to
channels A, B, C, and D. In this case, the Video Input control shows just the one input for each channel,
which is selected automatically.
